SK Man Accused of Assaulting His Sister

A 35-year-old South Kitsap man was booked into the Kitsap County jail on Monday night after witnesses said he beat up his sister because she didn't want to drink with him, according to the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.

The man's 30-year-old sister told sheriff's deputies that her brother was drinking tequila and tried to get her to drink with him. When she said no, she said he got mad, kicked in her bedroom door and started hitting her.

When deputies asked the man what happened, he said a boyfriend had hit his sister, but he did not tell them why he had blood on his clothing.

The man was arrested on suspicion of assault and bail was set at $15,000.
